Newmillerdam & Bretton 2 January

Having been a daily reader of the blog for most of 2014, I thought I would try and contribute a bit this year. So here goes my first post from yesterday.

Newmillerdam
Usual small variety of ducks on the lake, most of which I didn't think to count. Of note were goosander 4, little grebe 1, nuthatch and coal tit.

Bretton
Lower lake - Goosander 28, mallard 52, great crested grebe 1, teal 31, grey heron 2, Canada goose 36.

Upper lake - mallard 115, gadwall 10, tufted duck 14, little grebe 3, mute swan 7, moorhen 5, coot 9.

Other notables were nuthatch 2, treecreeper and goldcrest.

Thanks very much for posting these sightings.
Newmillerdam & Bretton Lakes are not regularly covered - the former hardly at all.
Your contribution is very much appreciated.
